one of the funniest movies of the year
October 18, 2008
The jokes fly as wildly as the titular sports gear, landing solidly more often than you'd expect thanks to a fast-paced script and a cast of good-natured misfits led by Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller.
June 22, 2004
The most satisfying comedy of the past year -- at least among the ones starring Stiller.

Trash comedies such as this are usually more painful than funny, but writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber pulls enough hilarious gags and cameos out of his gym bag to qualify his first feature as the summerâ(TM)s first guilty pleasure.

Just watching grown-ups get bombarded by rubber balls, you know? Makes me feel 12 again.

Direct hit!

The movie doesn't just pussyfoot around conventionality -- it hits it square in the stomach and then leaps around shamelessly in a smug victory dance.

... a hilariously worthy successor to the great goofball comedies of the late Seventies and early Eighties, movies like Caddyshack and Meatballs.

In the end it just felt like we were being told one long joke but were never given the punchline.
August 05, 2008
Stiller gives one of his broadest and best performances to date, and the jokes ping around the screen as fast as the balls on the court.

This masterpiece of modern cinema depends upon a single truism: A guy getting hit in the nuts a hundred times in a row is funny a hundred times.

Stiller is in fine form and just watching his exaggerated, paranoid egocentric White is amusing in itself.
